Dipper thought for a moment. "Brother...Oh my god! MABEL!" He scanned the room. "MABEL!"

"Over here! I'm ok!" She replied from the other side of the room. Dipper rushed over to her and embraced her. They looked over and saw Stan approach the stranger.

"Finally, after all these long years of waiting your finally here. Brother!" Stan said with joy.

The stranger punched him.

"Ow! What was that for?" Stan asked as he rubbed his cheek.

"That was a insainly risky move reactivating the portal. Didn't you read any of my warnings!?"

"Warning Shmarning. How about a thank you for saving you from whatever weird nightmare side burn dimension you were in."

The stranger grew agitated. "Thank you? You really expect me to thank you after what you did 30 years ago!?"

"What I did!? You've got a lot of nerve you-"

"Excuse me!" Mabel interjected. "Hi Mabel here. What the heck is going on!?"

The strangers face softens. "Stan you didn't tell me there were kids here."

Stan looked annoyed. "Their your family poindexter. Shermy's grandkids."

The stranger smiles. "I have a nephew and two nieces?"

Stan looks confused for a second. "The blonde one isn't family. She's a runaway."

Pacifica looked away nervously.

"Your harboring a runaway child in my house!? Of all the idiotic ideas." He sighed. "They'll be time for all of this later. For now, does anyone else know about this place?"

"Just us." Stan hesitates "And the entire U.S. government."

"The WHAT!?" Stans brother clenched his fists. "Ok. It'll be a while before they find this place. That gives me time to think of a plan."

Mabel smiled. "While we're stuck here anyone want to tell us their entire life story leading up to this point?"

"If this doesn't line up with my fanfiction I'm going to be very disappointed." Soos chimed in

"Yes I also have some questions Stanley." His brother remarked.

Mabel scrunched her face. "But your names Stanford."

The anger on his brothers face grew. "You took my name to!? What have you been doing the past 30 years?"

"Yeah Grunkle Stan no more lies." Dipper interjected. "Why didn't you tell us you knew who the author was? Why all the fake IDs?"

"And what happened between you and your brother?" Mabel added

Slowly the crowded around Stanley.

"Ok ok, I know you all want answers. This all started a lifetime ago..."
